Everything above that is fine, but that seems to be the number that makes the most sense. Still enough buffer for a seventh swap files although that probably won't be necessary as you will think your PB breaks down any second because of all the swapping. Its also important to remember that in creating discs with the finder drag n' drop method that you will need to keep the maximum size of optical disc (4.5GB on my PB1.5Ghz) PLUS a swap file size chunk free on your HD.
